Belarus down Georgia 2-0 in World Cup qualifier

Minsk, Oct 17 (IANS): Renan Bressan and Stanislav Dragun inspired Belarus to a comfortable win here in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying Group I.

The two goals put Belarus in control after a first-half in which Bressan went close twice more while Georgia’s limited threat amounted to little more than David Targamadze’s often optimistic free-kicks Tuesday evening, reports Xinhua.

In the second-half, Belarusian player Vitaly Rodionov was denied by keeper Nukri Revishvili and then hit the post as Belarus sought to put the result beyond doubt.

Belarus scored their first points in Group I while Georgia has four points from as many games.
